About Champsaurs

Champsaur is a small wine producer now based in Mudgee in Central Western New South Wales and specialising in low volume, high quality wines using exclusively hand picked fruit from hand pruned vines grown at an altitude of 500 metres.

The principal of Champsaur is Bill Washington, a great grandson of the founder of the label, Joseph Bernard Reymond.

The history of Champsaur dates back for over 120 years and we invite you to share it with us by pressing the ‘History’ and ‘Winemaking Past’ buttons.

Bill Washington has been a farmer in Mudgee since 1975 and having seen the modern wine industry grow in Mudgee and having a family background in the industry, moved from farming to specialised grape production in 1997 with the acquisition of ‘Homedale’ Eurunderee.

With the passing of the third generation Bill has carried on the Champsaur tradition of wine growing bringing to the label more than 30 years of farming experience and specialised training in viticulture with the philosophy that low yielding, closely monitored, hand pruned vines when hand picked yield the best possible quality wine.
